Luxury Travel Guide: Destination Resorts for Your Maserati

The Maserati owner who lives in Yorba Linda or the broader Anaheim Hills area is in an enviable position when it comes to weekend planning. The state’s most celebrated luxury resorts sit within a Saturday’s drive, the routes between them range from interesting to spectacular, and the car you’d want to make the trip in is already in the garage. This is the case for luxury road trips California-style — and below are four destination properties that justify the gas, the time, and the planning.

Before you go, schedule a pre-trip service appointment so the car is travel-ready, and read customer testimonials from owners who use their Maseratis for exactly this kind of trip.

About two hours east of Yorba Linda via the 91 and the 10, the Maserati Levante becomes one of the most relaxed places in the world to cross the Coachella Valley. The Levante’s air suspension settles on the long, open desert stretches, and the cabin stays cool and quiet at the kind of speeds the 10 invites. Parker Palm Springs — Jonathan Adler’s exuberant remake of a 1950s estate — is one of the most distinctive luxury hotels in the country, with thirteen acres of gardens, the famed Lemonade Stand, and rooms that feel more like collected residences than hotel suites.

Napa Valley is the destination that converts a Maserati from a weekend toy into a genuine touring car. From Anaheim Hills, the drive up the spine of California — I-5 to the 580 to the 80 — is roughly six to seven hours, depending on Bay Area traffic. It’s the kind of long road trip that rewards a car this comfortable, and a Levante’s GT or Modena trim is built for the distance. Auberge du Soleil, perched on a hillside above Rutherford with the entire valley visible from the terrace, is the destination that justifies the drive — a Michelin-starred restaurant, a serene spa, and the kind of quiet that only happens when you’re surrounded by vineyards.

For owners who play golf — or who simply appreciate one of the most photographed coastlines on earth — the Lodge at Pebble Beach remains the central-coast pilgrimage. About five to six hours from Anaheim Hills via Highway 101 (or longer, more dramatic, via Highway 1), the trip itself is half the appeal. The cargo capacity handles a full bag of clubs without folding seats, and the GranTurismo grand tourer makes the case for switching cars entirely if golf isn’t part of the agenda.

For owners who want a real escape but don’t want to commit to a six-hour drive, Ojai is the answer. About two and a half hours from Anaheim Hills via the 5 and the 33, the Ojai Valley Inn is one of the most awarded resorts in the country — a sprawling Spanish-influenced property with a championship golf course, the Spa Ojai, and the kind of sunset terrace that ends a long week the right way. The drive up the 33 from Ventura is one of California’s most underrated.

What are the best luxury road trips California Maserati owners take from Anaheim Hills?
The four classic California destination resorts from Anaheim Hills are Parker Palm Springs (two hours), Ojai Valley Inn (two and a half hours), Pebble Beach (five to six hours), and Auberge du Soleil in Napa (six to seven hours). Each delivers a fundamentally different California luxury experience. Browse the current Levante inventory if you’re considering a vehicle upgrade before the next trip.

Is the Maserati Levante the right Maserati for these trips?
The Levante is one of the most genuinely versatile road-trip vehicles in our lineup — the Q4 all-wheel drive, air suspension, cargo capacity, and cabin comfort make it ideal for resort-bound weekends. For coastal-focused trips where cargo matters less, the GranTurismo or GranCabrio is a worthy alternative.

What should I do to the car before a long trip?
A pre-trip service appointment covers fluids, tire pressures, brakes, and any open software updates. Most appointments take less than an hour, and our technicians will flag anything worth addressing before you put real miles on the car.

What’s the best season for these destination trips?
Palm Springs runs from late October through April. Napa is at its best in the shoulder seasons – late spring and harvest in September and October. Pebble Beach is excellent year-round but at its most spectacular in summer and early fall. Ojai is enjoyable any season, with spring particularly beautiful.

Can I trade in my current car against a Maserati upgrade for the next trip?
Yes. Our instant offer tool gives a starting valuation in minutes, and our team will confirm the number when you bring the vehicle in.

Is financing available for new and Certified Pre-Owned Maseratis?
Yes. Our finance team handles both with options that include traditional financing and lease programs. Pre-approval makes the in-store visit faster.

How do I plan a multi-stop California road trip?
Many owners string two or three of these destinations together – Pebble Beach plus Napa, or Palm Springs plus Ojai. Our team can recommend service stops along the way if you’re planning a trip that exceeds normal service intervals.
